Was never a fan of the band, always considered them an imitation Genesis but have say IMO. this track has been given a right thrashing this past week. I think its excellent, has anyone seen them live before Hogarth?, too late for me now but wishing I had made the effort.

I can remember this track being played on the OGWT and being totally blown away, superb live performance.Saw them at Glasto in the mid eighties and also at Reading and Milton Keynes.A band that promised so much but faded quickly, pity because the album A Script For a Jesters Tear was superb.

Sludgey, you saw them on their SECOND tour at St Davids Hall, to promote their 2nd album 'Fugazi'

On their first tour they played the Top Rank on Queen Street supported by VDGG's Peter Hammill, then a solo artist.

Got to say they were excellent that night, and also at St Davids Hall, when you caught them. If memory serves me well they played two nights at the venue. I went to the first night.

Previous to them releasing their first album I believe they played Tonypandy Naval Club, sometime back in '82. Their was also a vinyl bootleg LP around at the time, of them playing Bangor University sometime in '81, called I believe 'Grendel's Garden Party.
